Full Description
This is a comprehensive introduction to the principles and daily practices of the Buddha's teachings. Comprising "The Buddha Book" - which sets out the origins of Buddhism, the different traditions and devotional practices - together with meditation cards, a small Buddha statue, incense and a string of prayer beads, this pack offers an opportunity to discover the wisdom and serenity of Buddhism. Buddhism has great relevance for our lives today. It can teach us emotional and mental clarity, acceptance of whatever comes our way and a greater understanding of those around us. It encourages us to behave in ways that are kind to ourselves and the many creatures we share the Earth with. The meditation cards offer positive meditations and thoughts - similar to those a teacher would offer - to eliminate our negative emotions. Pictorial cards provide inspiration for visualization meditations. "The Buddha Pack" is an easy-to-use, practical guide that should enable those who use it to experience for themselves the freedom from suffering that is the ultimate destination of the teachings of Buddha.
